It pairs a heavy-duty magnetic base with a dial indicator featuring a 0-25-0 balanced dial reading and a graduation of 0.0005 decimal inches (0.01 mm). The 2-1\/4-inch diameter dial provides clear graduation visibility. The upright post assembly stands 9-3\/8 inches tall with a 3\/4-inch diameter post, giving technicians flexible positioning for runout checks, surface comparisons, and alignment work. The complete kit weighs 5 pounds and ships as a 2-piece set including the base, indicator, and upright post assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit suits precision measurement tasks in machine shops, industrial maintenance, and field service environments. Typical applications include shaft runout inspection, surface plate work, fixture alignment, and checking tolerances on machined components. The magnetic base attaches securely to ferrous surfaces, making it practical for use directly on machine tables, lathe beds, and steel fabrication fixtures. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this type of kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty magnetic base for secure attachment to ferrous surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBalanced 0-25-0 dial reading with 0.0005-inch (0.01 mm) graduation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-1\/4-inch dial diameter for easy reading at working distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9-3\/8-inch post height with 3\/4-inch diameter post for flexible indicator positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBase measures 3 inches wide by 3-1\/2 inches long by 3 inches tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplete kit includes base, dial indicator, and upright post assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a self-contained dial indicator base kit suitable for general precision measurement applications on any ferrous work surface or machine tool bed that accepts a magnetic base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires no special tools beyond positioning and activating the magnetic base. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and free of chips or coolant before engaging the magnet to achieve full holding force. The indicator tip and post assembly should be secured snugly before taking measurements to prevent deflection errors. Follow your facility or shop safety procedures when working near rotating machinery or energized equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndicator Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Magnetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Reading\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0-25-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Graduation (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Graduation (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.75 inches (285.34 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9-3\/8 inches (238.13 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch (19.05 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55948\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542811443506,"sku":"55948","price":1328.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1a9ebfa7729920a2b967c89f0dbddbc6.jpg?v=1785908083","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-55948-dial-indicator-base-kit-magnetic-base","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
